Kazu was unaware of their inner thoughts; if he had, he would have just curled his lip in disdain.
Riding is a two-way street. If they're happy riding now, Kazu can ride to his heart's content tonight.
As for you grown men, all I can say is get the Kazu out of here. My sexual orientation is fine.
Kazu and the girls had a great time, while the townspeople were a mix of excitement and panic.
The excited people believed this was an auspicious sign, and that good things would happen in their town.
Those who panicked believed that this unknown, powerful creature could destroy their town.
The town's residents only felt much more at ease after Kazu and his companions returned to the courtyard.
After that day, a legend of a Shenron began to circulate on the Silco Island, though there were many versions, some good and some bad.
Time flies, and there are only 10 days left until the agreed time with the dragon.
Kazu and the others finally left the island and boarded the Divine Dragon, heading towards their destination Kentron Island.
Swoosh~
Swoosh~
Thump thump thump!!!
The Divine Dragon had barely set sail when a barrage of cannon fire attacked the Blond Hair Pirates from the side.
"The power of that shell!!!"
"It's that old Garp who's arrived, hahaha."
" Kazu, let me handle this. I want to see how far my punches have gone."
Carlmand was extremely enthusiastic; his bounty had increased significantly after the last battle, which made him as excited as if he were on drugs.
Seeing that Garp was catching up, Carlmand volunteered to fight Garp.
Although Kazu was pleased with Carlmand's progress, he felt that a fight between him and Garp would be at best a 30/70 split.
He got punched seven times by Garp in three minutes!!
"Hahaha, Carlmand, well done!!"
"Keep your spirits up, don't lose face, come back victorious!"
"I'm rooting for you, Carlmand. You've never looked this handsome before."
Drew, Behrens, and Law spoke up one after another. They had never intended to fight Garp one-on-one, and had initially tacitly agreed to leave it to Kazu.
Now Carlmand is determined to find a way to die in the toilet.
They were certainly happy to watch the show from the ship.
Anyway, Captain Kazu is there to back him up; he can save him with his spatial powers. Carlmand won't die.
Seeing the determination in Carlmand's eyes, Kazu had nothing more to say and could only nod, saying, "Alright, then you go first."
Oulait remained silent, silently waving her Chikō on the deck, intercepting all the shells heading towards the Divine Dragon in mid-air.
Sigh, I'm so tired.
These heartless crew members and captain are still chatting idly even when the enemy is at their doorstep.
When Carlmand heard that Kazu had agreed to let him make the first move, he laughed heartily.
"Haha, don't worry, Kazu!"
"Even if Garp is powerful, he's still just a mortal. I can use my superior movement and defense to wear him down. Once he's frozen solid by my low temperature, that'll be the end of the battle!"
Carlmand was full of confidence; he had previously witnessed the fight between Kazu and Garp.
Captain Kazu's Space Swap was incredibly annoying to his opponent. Judging from Garp's appearance, his attack power was decent, but his speed wasn't that great. He was constantly on guard, keeping an eye on Kazu from both sides.
Carlmand also observed this and determined that Garp was the kind of strong person who was powerful but not fast.
That's why he was so confident in volunteering, wanting to use Garp's influence to increase his bounty.
" Her Kazi!!!"
Garp's shout came from the Dog-Head Warship. The old man was over sixty years old, but he still stood upright on the deck, showing no signs of the ravages of time.
"Hahaha, Sengoku from headquarters has called me several times, asking if you're up here for so long and if you're plotting something."
"I was still on vacation in the East Blue when I was suddenly called here. You'd better have a good fight with me."
Garp seemed to have rediscovered the feeling he had when he was chasing after the Roger Pirates.
That's how it was back then. If there was news of the Roger Pirates, he would lead his fleet to attack; if there was no news of the Roger Pirates, he would take various vacations and rest.
Looking back now, it was really good.
"Old man Garp, your opponent today isn't our captain."
"It is I, Delips Carmand!"
Carlmand leaped from the deck of the Divine Dragon, his body temperature so low that the water vapor in the air froze into ice crystals, which then crashed into the sea.
"Take this! Frost Fist!"
Still some distance from the Dog-Head Warship, Carlmand had already mobilized all his strength, intending to give Garp a hard blow as soon as he arrived, catching him off guard.
When Garp saw that it was actually this Carlmand had arrived, the old man grinned and his aura suddenly exploded, with terrifying Conqueror's Haki condensing on his fist.
"You wretched brat, don't underestimate me!"
"I am Vice Admiral Iron Fist Garp of the Marine Headquarters!!"
Garp moved with Inazuma speed; before Carlmand could even see clearly, Garp had already rushed in front of him.
"How could this be?!"
Thump!!!
Garp didn't even call out the skill name before punching Carlmand right in the face.
